IMPROVEMENT IN ICE-PITCHERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 121,500, dated December 5, 1871.

To all whom fit may concern:

Beit known that we, CoNNEILLoUs ENGLE- BERT and JOSEPH S. VON NIEDA, ofthe city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Ice-Pitchers, of which the following is a specification:

Our invention consists of a permanent and smooth connection of an interior vessel with the sides of the pitcher at or near its mouth, and a regular lessening of the diameter of the former toward the bottom of the pitcher, so as to give a neat and convenient form to said vessel for holding water, ale, Sto., there being a space or chamber left below and around the said interior vessel for holding the ice. rIhere is an opening in the bottom of the pitcher for the passage of the ice into said chamber, which opening is closed airtight, as hereinafter described.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of a swelled pitcher, A, having the improvement attached. Fig. 2 is a cross-section ofthe removable cover O.

Like letters in all the iigures indicate the same parts.

A, Fig. 1, is a swelled pitcher, and A an interior vessel, whose upper edge is permanentlyT attached to the sides of the same. The lower part of the vessel Al is rounded to correspond with the shape of the lower part of the pitcher, leaving a space or chamber, af, to contain the ice. the bottom B of 'the pitcher has an opening, b, through which the ice is passed into the chamber a. This opening is closed by means of the cover O, having a screw-thread on its edge, which forms a tight joint with the edge of the opening. A packing-ring, D, is also used to increase the security of the joint. The plate is manipulated for its removal from and connection with the opening by means of the projecting rib c, seen in cross-section in Fig. 2. The body of the pitcher is made thick to prevent the rapid melting of the ice in the chamber a, and the vessel A is thin to provide for the free transmission of cold from the ice to the water or liquor in the vessel. A like construction is adapted to Watercoolers and vessels of similar construction.

`What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the vessel A with the pitcher A by means of a permanent and smooth connection at or near the mouth of the pitcher, there being an ice-chamber, a, below and around the vessel Al and the bottom B of the pitcher, having an opening, b, and cover O, substantially as and for the purpose above set forth.

In testimony that the above is our invention we have hereunto set our hands and affixed our seals this 5th day oi' August, 1871.
